CHAPTER 44
SERIAL BRANCH DRIVER SPECIFICATION (SLAC 135-744) (SBD)

SERIAL BRANCH DRIVER SPECIFICATION
SLAC 135-744
The Serial Branch Driver (SBD) is designed to be as compatible as
possible to the SLAC Parallel Branch Driver (the differences are in
the Control Word (CTLW)). The SBD can operate in two ways (with one
slightly different FPLA).
In a system crate with a CCU2 crate controller and a VAX Channel
Controller (VCC) using the busy/ready protocol
In any crate where the crate controller responds to the Hold line.
The SBD is a double width CAMAC module. The front panel has two
connectors (wired in parallel) for connection to the serial branch.
The rear panel has two LEMO connectors, one for the LAM, the other to
reset the LAM if it is jumpered for internal latching. (The internal
jumpers allow the branch LAM to be made available either inverted or
non-inverted in either a latched or unlatched mode).
The following CAMAC Fcodes apply:
F(17)A(x) - write the CTLW
F(1)A(x) - read the CTLW
F(0)A(x) - read the module defined by the CTLW or execute the
command operation defined by the CTLW
F(16)A(x) - write data to the module defined by the CTLW or
execute the command operation defined by the CTLW
The following Control Word (CTLW) Format is implemented:
CTLW C C C C | N N N N N | A A A A | D | L L S S S | F F F F F
BITS 8 4 2 1 | 1 8 4 2 1 | 8 4 2 1 | | X Q C N A | 1 8 4 2 1

LINES
Where C - the value of the Crate address on the branch
N - the value of the Module address, where N is the slot
number marked on the Crate
A - the value of the sub-Address
D - the Data mode, D = 0 corresponds to the 16-bit mode
D = 1 corresponds to the 24-bit mode
LX, LQ, SC, SM, SA
- scan mode control bits (See Table 1) where in general
SA implies scan A (LSB)
SN implies scan N
SC implies scan C
LQ implies LAM on no Q
LX implies LAM on no X (MSB)
(The decimal equivalent of the bit pattern is the
scan mode #.)
F - the function code to be executed in Crate C
